I read the Washington Times article about racial quotas in Gore's secret service staff. Turns out (surprise surprise) the complaints were directed at the upper management of the Secret Service--not at Gore. As bowtie-wearing sniffy little prick George Will would say:

"Well."

Fun Facts: John Ashcroft spent thousands of dollars of taxpayers' money to put drapes over the statues that have stood behind his regular podium for decades--because they's all nekkid and stuff!! And you can see her things!!! "Der Fuhrer" does appreciate art though; at home he keeps a replica he made of the Statue of Liberty--made entirely of barbed wire. (Insert Bernard Hermann's "Psycho" theme here.)

I may be the only one interested in this thread anymore, but since I have been accused repeatedly and falsely of declaring any and all Republicans (or Conservatives) as being racist/stupid/corrupt/blahblahblah, I offer this tidbit:

"This is not an issue we should be addressing as Republicans or Democrats, or as supporters or opponents of the president. This is one where all of us owe our constituents our best judgement. There are no easy, risk-free options. Sending young men and women into war should never be taken lightly. Elected leaders should ask the tough questions before sending them into a situation that may result in the ultimate sacrifice."

I honestly want this thread to die. The moment I saw it, I knew that an argument was coming. A large group of people talking politics always ends in a fight. While I have refrained from censoring the thread, politics do not belong here.
